Mail and Express Cars Robbed.

SAN Francisco, April 29.-An auda-
cious and successful train robbery &C.
CURED Wednesday night on the South.
ern Pacific, near Tucson. The west
bound express was stopped near Pop
page station, eighteen miles east of
Tucson. Five men signalled the train to
stop with a red lantern. They had also
placed distractions on the track. AS
soon as the train stopped, the robbers
opened fire on the train and boarded the
engine. The passengers were not mo-
Tested, but the express car and mail
pouches were rified Of the contents and
several thousand dollars secured by the
robbers. Immediately upon receipt Of
the news at the Office OF the Southern
Pacific company, this city, A. n. Town,
general manager, issued the following
circular:-"The mail and express cars on
our west bodnd express train. when at a
point IL miles east of Tucson at 10
O'Clock last night was stopped and
robbed by four or five men. The South
ern Pacific company hereby offers re-
ward Of 81 900 for the arrest and con-
yiction of the robbers, which is in addi-
ton to like reward by Wells & Fargo
express. In addition to this the United
States postoffice department has stand
ing reward OF $500 each for the arrest
and conviction Of the persons who en-
gage In robbing mails" From Informa.
ton received by him, General Manager
Town said in reference to the affair:
"There were five shots fired from the
band Of robbers into the express car
after the train had been brought to a
stop. When the train came to stand
still the engineer and firemen
were ordered to get of the en-
gine. Then they were each
given stick OF gun powder (giant) and
told that they must compel the mail
agents and the express messengers to
open their csrs or the robbers would
with revolvers, compel them to light
the dynamite and destroy the cars. IN
der these threats the express messenger
and mail agent abandoned the cars. The
robbers then unooupled the locomotive,
express and mail oars from the train and
ran down the track two miles. There
they stopped and took all the money
they could find. The money obtained
from Wells, Fargo & Co. was about $500;
no passengers were mOlested. The rob-
beers did not enter the passenger cars
Additional particulars state that the
mail car was also rifed. When
the news was carried back to
PappagO, U. s. Marshal Mead and
